Raquel Pennington and Julianna Pena will throw down for gold at UFC 307. This women’s bantamweight championship bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, Oct. 5 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
Some heat has built up between the two ladies during fight week after Peña (12-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) trashed Pennington (16-9 MMA, 13-5 UFC) as a champion, prompting a response from the titleholder.
Pennington claimed the title vacated by the retired Amanda Nunes this past January at UFC 297 where she dominated Mayra Bueno Silva. Pennington is on a six-fight winning streak dating back to 2020.
Peña, on the other hand, hasn’t competed in more than two years, when Nunes reclaimed her title with a lopsided decision in their rematch at UFC 277. Peña had earned the title with a shocking finish of Nunes in December 2021 that was named Upset of the Year by MMA Junkie.
